Glenn Beck says the "war has already started" with Russia and he's talking about things like sanctions coming from this country.
I guess Glenn didn't get it from watching "Hogans Heroes" about what "the Russian Front" meant.
Well I hope no war is coming but Peter Hitchens thinks Russia was sending a warning with this incident about how dirty a war could get.
There are a handful of elderly Russian historians (who were Soviet dissenters) that have been warning about this and more since the moment Vlad Putin stepped into power in 2000 - to no avail - and with little heed to their warnings paid either by their compatriots or Western hearers.
Peter Hitchens is clueless. He is a pampered Westerner living in a bubble even when in Russia and thinks the West’s inadequacies give one license to pray Putin’s *faux* front of “Christianity” and “political incorrectness.”
In actuality: Putin’s regime is Stalin part II tailor fit and adjusted for the new globalized information era. And he wants the Cold War back and has convinced his people that the USSR collapse is conditionsl and must be avenged.
This BBC article is so biased and professional disgraceful that I would suspect (if I were of suspicious mind), that the writer was pro-Soviet/Russia, a British Marxist in the closet, or taking orders from the heads of the BBC who have been traditionally viciously anti-American, or all of the above.
No mention of the independent FBI Office of Professional Responsibility (i.e. Ethics). No mention of McCabe withholding important information from the FISA Court, “the Strzok Surprise”, the Strzok-Page collusion to undermine the president, and possible leaks of classified information to the media or others who were not entitled to see it.

Even arch-socialists are openly saying this is "Russia behaving badly" and a firm response is needed. Of course, the pinko commentators are trying to do some damage limitation by deflection or questioning the evidence, or the old saw of "building international concensus" first (which means not doing anything now) but it's not going down well.
Being cynical, I think there might be an element of deflection going on with Theresa May too. The government she leads is not a strong one and jumping on a cause like this, which everybody agrees upon, is doing wonderful things for her and its popularity.
Anyway, this is not going to go away and I expect there will be further British diplomatic action. There's talk of freezing Russian assets or pushing the investigations into alleged Russian money laundering operations in London. They will almost certainly call for support from their allies to do something too.
Our so called allies are damn determined to bring us into a war with Russia. This isn’t new with the UK. Their man Steele almost got Hillary elected who sure as hell would have had us in a shooting war with Russia in Syria. Frankly I hope the egg on May’s face is fatal.
